Ingredients

  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour or all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 stick butter chilled and cut in small pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half and half or more for whole wheat flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Add flour mixture to food processor with butter and pulse about 20 times until butter is incorporated. Alternatively, grate or cut butter into flour mixture until well incorporated.
  • In small mixing bowl, gently whisk together the cream and egg. Pour half of the mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir. Add the vanilla extract and remaining cream; continue to stir until just blended.
  • Add berries to the dough mixture and gently stir until the berries are evenly distributed. Doug should be shaggy, but still resemble dough. If too shaggy, add a little more flour up to 2 tablespoons.
  • With spoon, drop onto baking sheet, spaced about two inches apart.
  • Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, until tops are light, golden brown.
